Celebrating one of Dave Brubeck's most popular jazz pieces - 'Take Five'. It also marks the return of the 'Abijah & Elijah' duo after nearly 7 years!"Take Five" is a jazz piece composed by Paul Desmond and originally performed by the Dave Brubeck Quartet on its 1959 album Time Out. It eventually became an unlikely hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever - included in numerous movie and television soundtracks, it still receives significant radio play.
Written in the key of E-flat minor, the song is known for its distinctive two-chord piano vamp; catchy blues-scale saxophone melody; inventive, jolting drum solo; and especially the unusual quintuple (5/4) time.

The arrangement in itself has been played and programmed on the Yamaha PSR S950 with additional voice effects using the iRig 37 keys Pro.
Individual stems were recorded in the Cockos Reaper DAW and mastered using iZotope Ozone 5.
The Big Reveal!
'Abijah & Elijah' is a composite project... meaning... these are two video layers joined in as one. The easiest way I find is to record from the same camera angle and overlay two files over each other. Green screen can get messy and hard to place correctly and a bad editing job could break the illusion.
